Yeah, pinball has gotten absolutely nuts. When I started collecting you could get a NIB game for well under $4000. Now, even the low end models are at least $2000 more than that for NIB, and they go WAY higher. I don't even want to talk about pricing on some that I have bought. It makes me sick.

As far as cheap pachinkos, I guess I haven't had much luck there. The last one I bought a few days ago from an online retailer was $1200 plus shipping, but no one else that I could ever find had one. I guess maybe I just have tastes in hard to find games.
